Chapter Ninety-Seven: Yan Zuo Comes Again

"Do you want money?" Meng Zhijing glanced at Gong Nianhuai, "Here, if you have money, you don't spend it, you have food and drink, what money to give." www.biquge.info If you don't want to go, you will arrange a stable place for Li Tie to live and give Li Tie an errand. A person like Li Tie will not accept your money, which will make him look down on himself. ”

"Oh!" Gong Yi Nianhuai turned his head to stare at Meng Zhijing, and raised his thumb high, "Brother Meng's words can be called a classic, and it also sees through Li Tie's temperament, and the younger brother worships it." Then, Brother Wang, it's okay, you can go. ”

Boom, boom, boom

"What sound?" Everyone in the room heard, and everyone pricked up their ears to discern where the sound was coming from.

"In the front yard, someone knocked on the knocker, right?" Zhang Yan stood up, leaned sideways, bracketed his ears, and guessed as he listened.

"You two, stop rubbing around, go and see." Zhang Yan waved his hand at Niu Ben and Wang Dali, "I don't have any eyesight." ”

Niu Ben and Wang Dali, while draping their clothes on their bodies with both hands, hurriedly walked to the front yard.

"Outsiders? Who's going to knock on the door, it won't be Li Tie, right? Hehe, it's really in response to the old saying that Cao Cao Cao arrived. Gong Nian Huai leaned back on the back of the chair very comfortably, with a happy face, and he couldn't see that he had been sarcastically beaten by Fang Qiong for no reason before the meal.

"I guess it's strict, or else, let's make a bet with Nianhuai? The stake is," Meng Zhijing smiled like a fox, looking left and right, and touching around what could be used as a bet.

"Brother Meng, I think it's best not to bet with the younger brother, the younger brother is bound to win every gamble, it's very lonely!" Gong lost Nian Huai even more, his face was full of disdain, and he pouted and looked at Meng Zhijing.

"Childe, what is your bet, tell me quickly." Zhang Yan worked hard for Meng Zhijing on the side.

"Brother Zhang, you have to put in less effort, a humble gentleman like Brother Meng can't win, you see, what a good opportunity this time is, just walk away in front of everyone. You can't be too square, you can't be too greedy, remember to remember. ”

Gong Nian Huai put on a half-immortal face, spit out the words that he was looking for, and looked at Meng Zhijing gloatingly.

"Nian Huai, if you don't dare to bet, just say it, what is the weirdness of yin and yang." Meng Zhijing has not yet woken up, and he is still touching the house like looking for needles in the sea.

"Hehe, how is Brother Zhang, see it, what else can your son-in-law be if he is not a gentleman? Just shout a bet and get it, you have to look like a big girl looking for a husband, pick the ugly one and pick the handsome one and finally pick a skinless one. Gong Nian Huai directly cocked Erlang's legs, shaking and shaking like convulsions.

"Two sons, Yan Zuotou is visiting." The sound of Niu Ben came from outside the door.

"Who?" Meng Zhijing turned his head sideways to look at the courtyard, Niu Ben was wearing a cloak and bowing his waist, standing in front of the door waiting for a reply.

"Hui Gongzi, it's Yan Zuotou."

"Hey," Meng Zhijing slapped his palm on the table, pointing at Gong Yi Nian Huai, with a sad and indignant face, "Nian Huai, hehe, you escaped again." Come on, come on in. ”

Meng Zhijing was lost for a while, and then became excited again, "Haha, it seems that the desire to sleep on a rainy day has been completely shattered, why am I still so happy." ”

"Lost in the east, harvested mulberry. Brother Meng, you lost the opportunity to win chips from your younger brother, but you also got Brother Meng's wishes, and you still won. What could be more exciting than having a wish fulfilled? Congratulations to Brother Meng, congratulations to Brother Meng. ”

Gong Nian Huai crossed Erlang's legs, and said New Year's greetings in his mouth, combining the two to see how funny it is.

"The villain has the ambition, hum, not like you. Hey, Nian Huai, Yan Zuotou is here to ask for advice, so can we go to the scene to give advice in a grand manner? "Probably Meng Zhijing has nothing but mortars in his head.

"Who knows, take a look. If Yan Shi comes with the cannon tube, what do you say, Brother Meng, you can't just throw the cannon tube out and smash it just to go to the courtyard to observe the scene. "No matter what Meng Zhijing does or says, Gong Nian Huai has to insert a pole into it, even if there is no seam, you have to find a toothpick to pick out the seam.

"Hehe, you are envious and jealous, my little brother is not as knowledgeable as you. As long as you can take your little brother to the courtyard to see, what if your little brother loses the bet. ”

Meng Zhijing was unmoved, and also raised his legs, and tried to shake his legs with Gong Nian Huai. It's just that he is shaking in his robe, which is not as elegant and chic as the cropped pants of Gong Nian Huai.

"It's raining so hard, don't be polite when you make your head, take off your clothes, and come in." Gong Nian Huai was sitting in the position where he saw Yan Shi coming up from the courtyard.

"Hehe, hello sir. The rain is from God, and the Yuan Zhi is also from God. Yan Shi smiled and saluted, and then he removed his coat and crossed the threshold into the house.

"The two sons are waiting for Yan to be the head." Zhang Yan pulled out the chair and asked Yan Zuotou to sit down, and lost no time in sending a sentence.

"Oh! Yuan Zhi was flattered, and he was also impressed by Mr. and Meng Gongzi's information. Yan Shi arched his hand to the Gong Gong and Meng Zhijing.

"Yan Zuotou, I came here so early, whether the cannon is ready, I want to ask your husband to test the cannon." Meng Zhijing stared at Yan Shi, wanting to see some clues from his face.

"Meng Gongzi and Yuan Zhi thought together, but Yuan Zhi disappointed Mr. and Meng Gongzi."

"Oh? Having a hard time? "Meng Zhijing is a little anxious, and now he is more like Mr. Yan than Gong Nian Huai.

"It's not difficult, it's not that much. It's just a little trouble, and it takes time to verify them one by one. Yan answered in a stormy manner, but it was not infallible either. It's just that I met Meng Zhijing, a layman, who didn't know what to do, and was said to be in a fog.

"Yan Zuotou, what are the little troubles you are talking about?" Gong Nian Huai slowly pondered Yan Shi's words, and began to muttered in his heart.

"Back to Mr. Hui's words, spindle bullet ......"

"Spindle is done?" Meng Zhijing almost jumped up, if it weren't for Yan Shi being an outsider, he would really jump up.

If Yan Shi saw Meng Zhijing like Meng Lang before last night, he would have secretly pouted to show his disdain, but now it is different, Gong Nian Huai is regarded as a gentleman by himself, and Meng Zhijing is a friend of his cheap husband, and he is a generation higher in seniority. Yan Shi, as a junior, always has to maintain a respect in face, so he turned a blind eye to Meng Zhijing's excessive excitement, pretended to think deeply, stared at the table with low eyebrows, and said, "Back to Meng Gongzi, the craftsmen first made a few wooden spindle bullets, and are testing the relationship between shape and range. ”

"Huh?" Gong Yi Nianhuai, who was sitting on the side, listened to it interestingly, had you already noticed the relationship between shape and range in the Song Dynasty? This is a big discovery.

After thinking about it for a while, Gong Yi Nianhuai understood. Aren't arrows also called feathered arrows? This feather is a bird's feather that sticks to the tail end of the shaft, and when the arrow is flying, the wings stabilize the shaft and improve accuracy without losing range.

This design is based on the same principle as the tail of artillery shells and rockets in later generations. In other words, the tail feathers of the feather arrow are the ancestors of the tail of the cannonball and rocket in later generations.

As for the streamlined shape, it should not have risen to the level of consciousness in the Song Dynasty, but it was already used in practice. Like the three-edged armor-piercing cone in the arrow, its shape is the same as that of the three-edged scraper of later generations, and the structure is exquisite, taking into account the drag during flight and the kinetic energy of armor-piercing during penetration.

"It's still testing." Meng Zhijing was a little disappointed, leaned back in the chair, the light in his eyes flashed and flashed, and suddenly asked again, "Yan Zuotou, what about the cannon barrel, is Chengzhu made?" ”

Yan Shi shook his head, "It's not molded yet." ”

This time, even Gong Nian Huai couldn't sit still. Although it has only been eight or nine hours or less than ten hours since last night, and it is strictly guaranteed to start work overnight, these eight or nine hours will not only make a few models of wooden mortar shells, and this efficiency is too poor.

Yan Shi still looked like a Maitreya Buddha, looking at the two with a smile. The fleeting disappointment in Gong Nianhuai's eyes did not escape Yan Shi's eyes, and Meng Zhijing's emotional ups and downs were like a roller coaster, and he was even more seen by Yan Shi.

And Yan Shi still looked confident, lightly opened the man's lips, and said something.

"Mr. Hui, Mr. Meng, everything is going according to plan, and Yuan Zhi is more confident than ever."

"Hmph, I have the confidence to use it. Yan Zuotou, if he still said this before dawn tomorrow, it would be no wonder that Qingyuan said something in front of Nian Huai. "Meng Zhijing even took out the threatening words, a big fat boy who is about to croak to the ground, you touch your upper and lower lips, and if you say no, it will be gone, then it will be repaid.

"That's, that's." Yan Shi smiled and nodded in agreement, "If Yuan Zhi can't complete the task entrusted by Mr., without Meng Gongzi's action, Yuan Zhi himself will be bound in front of Mr. and Meng Gongzi, and ask Mr. and Meng Gongzi to punish." ”

"Don't, be strict, don't pretend to be pitiful, we don't have the right to punish you, you say, what are you doing this morning?" Meng Zhijing was really anxious, seeing that the toy in his hand was broken on the road, no one could hold back this mouthful, and as soon as he came out, he had a taste of pouting.

"Hehe, Meng Gongzi is a little restless. Yuan Zhilai wanted to invite Mr. and Meng Gongzi to watch the cannon in the courtyard. ”

"What, what? Watching the guns? Meng Zhijing jumped up, reached out to grab the tight neckline, stretched out his hand halfway, and stopped, five fingers curled and stretched, two big eyes staring at Yan Shi, "What are you going to say?" ”

"Hey, Yan Zuotou, what's the matter, didn't you say that the mold hasn't even been formed yet, the cannonball is still a wooden model, why do you have to watch the cannon?" Gong Nian Huai didn't interject, just quietly listened to Meng Zhijing and Yan Shi's quarrel, when people were sleepy, listening to the two grinding their teeth, it could be regarded as resting.

"Mr. Hui, since Mr. gave me the picture last night, Yuan Zhi has been pondering. Whether it is a copper cannon barrel or an iron cannon barrel, if it is to be cast, there is no three or five days that cannot be done. After the barrel is cast, it has to be polished, bored and milled, which is not possible without a day or two, and it is still unknown whether it can be suited. In normal times, it is nothing, but at the moment, it is a burning eyebrow, and it will not be able to wait for four or five days. ”
